Description
English: Britain Builds Light Cars- the British Automobile Industry, UK, 1945
A newly-constructed car is tested in the cold room of a car factory, somewhere in Britain. According to the original caption "it has been exposed to sub-zero temperature conditions for three days. Engine startability tests are carried out and observations cover the efficient operation of electrical components and controls". The car has piles of ice all over the bonnet and the scientist carrying out the tests on the car is wearing a jumpsuit to protect him from the cold.

Public domain

  2. It was published prior to 1974; or
  3. It is an artistic work other than a photograph or engraving (e.g. a painting) which was created prior to 1974.

This tag is designed for use where there may be a need to assert that any enhancements (eg brightness, contrast, colour-matching, sharpening) are in themselves insufficiently creative to generate a new copyright. It can be used where it is unknown whether any enhancements have been made, as well as when the enhancements are clear but insufficient. For known raw unenhanced scans you can use an appropriate {{PD-old}} tag instead. For usage, see Commons:When to use the PD-scan tag.

Note: This tag applies to scans and photocopies only. For photographs of public domain originals taken from afar, {{PD-Art}} may be applicable. See Commons:When to use the PD-Art tag.
